Ok i just recently purchased my 96 bonneville ssei and i want to well make it better. I have been looking at a bunch of options for a new air intake system. The one that has caught my eye is the Intense FWI.

Here is my question, is the filter exposed to the elements?

I live in Colorado. During the winter, CDOT sprays mag chloride on the roads so to melt ice and prevent ice from forming. In addition to that i am afraid that the intake might pull in moisture from the roads during the winter. The last thing i want to do is ruin my new car.

there are numberous 96-99 SSEi'* running the Intense FWI. you just have to clean the filter more often, because its open to the elements. There are no worries with water unless you totally submerge the filter in water and then drive thru

hey i just put my FWI in but anybody have pics where they put there pcm and that canister thing that u remove to put the filter in.

Here'* how I went about it.


Cover off pcm for test fitting only

where did you get that pcm cover. its nice how you have it.

i made almost the same thing except out of 4inch id pvc 2 questions 1 which should be better? 2 did you remount the evap canister or chuck it?

In theory..pvc should work about the same.

The canister is actually mounted in that picture.

aghh true didnt see it there is that a good old zip tie mount my fav

ok two questions where you get that cover and two do you ever have water in your filter last time i pulled it out it was pretty wet.. just wondering
